Can anyone send me an invite to the NeoGAF group? I realize I've never actually joined it lol.

Yeah, me too please. I never did get around to joining it, just sharing in the 'yays' and 'boos' each day at noon central time.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/fattybob77/

Also, why does steam make me confirm by sending a code to my email every single time I log in to Steam from a browser? It never remembers me. Maybe a setting on chrome? Even when I log in here from chrome, it 'remembers' my user name and password but still have to click to log in.

Edit: Got the invite, thx guys.

Along about 7am my body went down the entire checklist of heart attack symptoms, I mean it ran the gamut, so I drove my ass to the hospital. EKG was great, blood work was great, so yeah... panic attack. Like, a monster panic attack, like it had tentacles and hooves and shit. I do have anxiety but I've never had this happen.

Now here in a day or two I get to be all like DAT HOSPITAL BILL

Dark Souls Nexus has quite a few. The most import of course is DSfix to make it "playable" (60FPS, higher resolution, SMAA). On the nexus there are quite a few HD texture packs and some small other stuff.

That is a decent hand.

Unless you meant you were playing the inferior Truco.
Click to expand...
Only decent you say? What the h...? It's probably the best hand you could get!

Oh, I get it, by "inferior Truco" you mean the real one, the Argentinian version. Had an Uruguayan friend try to explain me that awful version once, but it looked terrible and complicated.

Copons said:
Whaaaaaa??

Those are Italian playing cards (that also come in several regional graphics variations), but neither I did know that they could be found outside Italy, nor that they needed to put the number in the corners to explain cards value! :D
Click to expand...
Spanish deck, actually. They are very popular in South America, and Truco is an excellent game.

In fact, I'd love to have a Steam version of it. With Steamworks features, so I could easily play multiplayer with people in my friend list (of course, it should support up to 6 players), and Workshop support to allow custom card pictures/colors. If someone wants to make such a game, I'd buy the shit out of it.

So I just handed in my thesis and now I don't feel like playing anything anymore. What the hell, brain?
Click to expand...

It took me about three weeks after handing in my thesis until I went back to being "normal" again where the first week I moved back home was lying in bed and ordering my mother around bringing me stuff (she kicked me out again after a week or it might have gone on for longer). I had no desire to do anything. I often watched stupid TV stuff because I was to lazy to switch channels. Got better after a time.

Well anyway, congratulations. It is a big step and you can be proud of yourself!

I got sick to my stomach, light headed, my chest got really tight, my heart started racing and skipping beats, most of my body went cold, and when I got there and got on the bed my legs were shaking almost comically, like I literally thought I was done. It was terrifying. My heart rate and blood pressure were a little high but after the EKG and such they weren't concerned.

Thanks for the kind words though! My heart's still beating a little fast but not alarmingly so but otherwise I feel fine. Now how about a Half-Life 3 daily

I wouldn't mess with anything except the all important DSFIX by Durante, which unlocks framerate, raises resolution to whatever you want, and adds other awesome features, and DSCFIX (Dark Souls Connection Fix) if you plan on playing with friends, it'll hook you up instantly.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Torchlight II is reaaaaly good, incredibly fun. Another big thanks to the people in this thread whom convinced me to go get it. I had a love/hate relationship with the original so I had doubts about buying the game for a while, but great scott. This is great!
So many small and big refinements. Looting is more interesting and fun and this time it really is a world you want to explore. Great skilltree's and it looks absoulutely beautifull to boot.

Yup.

Awesome.

Also, i'm not collectin cards anymore so I started selling them. I mean, I already have the Psychonauts badge, unless something weird happens and the Monkey Island SE's get cards there aren't any "necessary" badges anymore. :p
I must say, it's quite fun, watching them munmun's rolling into your account. Like 1,12 in five minutes. :p

I had a vertigo attack at work once.. never had a family history of it, but apparently the symptoms are similar to a heart attack except no tingling in the arms. Basically, there's so many things that resemble a heart attack, but it's better safe than sorry.

Have you thought about a heart monitor watch or something to keep tabs on things?

Yeah, I had a panic attack myself once when I was 7 so I know what it's like. Was not fun at all.

I wonder - I know Hospital Tycoon is no Theme Hospital, but is it playable?
Click to expand...

I stole this from the Hospital Tycoon community:

Short answer.... No. Well. Its not better then Theme Hospital. I got it because I played it on someone elses comp. Its theme hospital in 3D midly put. Its got a kinda annoying-voice female guide, speaking in The Sims-like gibberish speech. But it has smooth nice music (classical with jazz lounge influences etc) and its a pleasant space to dwell in. And at this price its a steal. There are some bugs that might prevent progress in the campaign though. I played a cracked copy of this many years ago and then I couldnt get past lvl 7 or 9 because the engineers glitched and couldnt move or attract more of them lol.

Just to make sure, don't look at the next set of deals until we tell you it's okay.

I'm considering it. Usually my heart is fine, I don't get chest pains or anything like that or shortness of breath and I exercise/eat at least somewhat healthy. It's not something I've ever thought about but I'm really skittish about my health so I may very well look into it soon.

are those the same as anxiety attacks?
Had one once, a few years back, very frightening experience at first, felt like I'd lost control of my body.

Sounds pretty similar. For me it was intense nausea, dizziness, blurred vision and seeing "stars" etc, along with shortness of breath and shaking limbs to the point I couldn't stand and had a difficult time speaking or dialing on the phone at first.

I've suffered mild panic/anxiety attacks too so I know how you feel.

Mine weren't as bad as yours but I've gotten some where I literally lost my voice and couldn't speak, and others were I started shaking a little.

Hope you get better soon, you are not alone.
